'''Transportation from hotel to venue:''' Uber, Lyft, or taxi from any of the suggested hotels to NYBG should be 5-10 minutes. The Rodeway Inn is walking distance, though walkers should use common sense while traveling on foot in the Bronx. Participants should come to the Mosholu gate and check in with security, who will direct them to the appropriate building and entrance. <br>
'''Workshop venue:''' New York Botanical Garden<br>
William & Lynda Steere Herbarium <br>
NYBG Mosholu entrance: 2950 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10458 <br>
Workshop location: Reading Room, LuEsther T. Mertz Library <br>
Breakfast and lunch: Pfizer Laboratory Conference Room <br>
PLEASE NOTE: Workshop participants should come directly to the Mosholu gate, NOT the main entrance to the Garden. Be sure to use the Mosholu address given above for your Uber/taxi driver or GPS (2950 Southern Blvd). When you arrive at the gate, if you are coming by car, you will need to check in with Security at the booth, and ask them to direct you to either the Pfizer lab or Ross Gallery entrance, depending on the time you arrive (see schedule and map provided). Walkers can turn left upon entering the gate and proceed directly to the appropriate building; do not go to the visitor ticket booths.
On the accompanying map, the Pfizer lab entrance is marked A, and the Ross Gallery B. <br>

=Potential Workshop Topics=
[https://www.idigbio.org/content/envisioning-biological-collections-action-center <strong>Webinars link</strong>]<br><br>
'''Potential Workshop topics from Webinar 1'''
*What existing models for permanent national centers might this particular center emulate? GenBank? Others? Andrea Weeks aweeks3@gmu.edu SESYNC, CETAF, EU SYNTHESYS)
 
*Barabara mentioned the value of interfacing with enivronmental data as part of the extended specimen concept, would adding the whole of natural history be an option to the pervue, or would this Center need to coordinate with a yet created/proposed equivalent Action Center?" Rebecca Snyder snyderr@si.edu
 
*How would the center balance the US focus with borderless challenges?" Jorrit Poelen jhpoelen+idigbio@jhpoelen.nl  Could a Center take on a role in meeting global biodiversity compacts and agreements, for example by provisioning necessary data products and ensuring quality/interoperability? This may move the funding model beyond just the purview of NSF? Bryan McLean b_mclean@uncg.edu  Why not an ‘international center’? Something across multiple governments that would be more collaborative and less centralized? Prosanta Chakrabarty prosanta@lsu.edu  The new UN treaty of the high seas agreed to this weekend essentially will extend Nagoya principles to areas beyond national jurisdiction. This will require international tracking of collections. Dan Distel d.distel@northeastern.edu
 
*With increasing AI capabilities it is becoming easier to acquire information from multiple sources. Should an action center aim to take advantage of these capabilities rather than trying to create one central solution for all collections? Dan Distel d.distel@northeastern.edu
 
*Should such a center help local collections advocate for themselves locally? Deborah Paul dlpaul@illinois.edu
 
*There is no community solution for biological collections to maintain the original digital data being produced. There my benefit in collective bargaining for cloud storage. Could a center impact this? Andy Bentley abentley@ku.edu
 
*Given that so much of our biodiversity occurrence records are now arising from observations (e.g., via iNaturalist), would there be benefits to thinking about folding that as a major source of data/opportunities into a scope of a biodiversity action center?" Austin Mast amast@fsu.edu
 
*Very excited about the potential for this Action Center to facilitate our collective efforts to make our data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) Rebecca Snyder snyderr@si.edu
 
*The name Action Center implies collections data and analyses will drive impacts (thru science). The language describing the center should be explicit in this regard, not implicit.  Perhaps the language would benefit by addressing enhanced impact. Hilary Swain hswain@archbold-station.org
 
*National orphans collections discovery and clearinghouse? Tristan Edgarian tedgarian@usgs.gov  California has funded collection rescue, and folks can now get ""rapid grants"" for saving a collection. info@calalive.org" Daniel Gluesenkamp combined@calalive.org
 
*How can iSamples infrastructure and the companion Sampling Nature Research Coordination Network be part of this planning process? Erin Robinson erin.robinson-1@colorado.edu
 
*How might a center such as this help move the needle on workforce development, ensuring that museum careers in whatever capacity are available to all?" Cody Thompson cwthomp@umich.edu
 
*Given AI, centralized one stop shopping databases may not be the future of data distribution. Dan Distel d.distel@northeastern.edu
 
*Is there an economy of scale? - actions that could be taken by an action center that would not occur without an action center, even if existing centers were given to additional institutions? Kevin Hackett kevin.hackett@usda.gov  Also, how approaches of an Action Center be downscaled and guide convergence  e.g. a small field station site with multiple taxon collections, multiple tissue, multiple observation, and genomic data." Hilary Swain hswain@archbold-station.org
 
*What legal framework is needed to make an action center work?  Assigning interpretative methods to collections generates ownership and repatriation issues, if collections were unjustly acquired from indigenous peoples or other nations. Jonathan Blythe jonathan.blythe@boem.gov
 
*Ensure that specific and explicit language that the processes of data mobilization and publication prior to making data public is included. These processes are not digitization and they don’t happen magically but take time, effort, and skill. Stake out some ground on the post-publication side of these processes and get into data use. David Bloom dbloom@vertnet.org
 
'''Potential Workshop topics from Webinar 2'''
 
*I wonder how much the Smithsonian National Museum can have the added charge of acting as the ‘Biological Collections Action Center’. Or should it be a complete and distinct center? Prosanta Chakrabarty prosanta@lsu.edu
 
*Joe Cook, could you elaborate on how collections could be “built” to anticipate scientific needs? What would you do differently or what practices would you standardize? Or is this more about making collections data open/accessible? Keegan T keegan.sawyer@science.doe.gov
*In a recent survey of Antarctic researchers, it was discovered that the majority of collected objects and data were in the individual personal collections of researchers, rather than in institutional collections. I suspect that this is true in other disciplines. These collections are important and should be addressed in any national collections concept. Dan Distel d.distel@northeastern.edu
 
*As a living collection Scientist, I still see a major silo separating living and non-living collections. I hope the action center can help to better integrate these two types of collections. Is the group being able to bring in more living collections into these conversations? Manzour Hazbon hazbon@yahoo.com
 
*One of the greatest barriers to growth for vertebrate collections is wildlife agencies restricting collecting and pushing for non-lethal sampling only. Often these restrictions are in place with the goal to protect wildlife and preserve biodiversity, but these agencies don't seem understand how collections can help achieve their goals. How do you envision the action center addressing this? Katrina Derieg kderieg@nhmu.utah.edu
 
*What systems or procedures are in place for formalizing materials transfer and use agreements, especially for living collections? Anonymous Attendee
 
*To Shirley Pomponi - Your desciption of living collections reminds me of digital collections that now exist in parallel to their physical counterparts. As an biodiversity informatics person, I see digital data as "living" dynamic objects in which curation and management is still in various stages of development. How do you imagine physical (preserved/living) collections co-exist with their digital counter parts? What are you thoughts on how an action center can help to mature the protocols needed to preserve our digital treasures? Jorrit Poelen jhpoelen+idigbio@jhpoelen.nl
 
*Is there a role for the action center, centralized or distributed, in 'lobbying' for base level funding (non grant based) so that collections, regardless of size, can more effectively engage in these broader science questions and value for society. Michael Lomas mlomas@bigelow.org
 
*Thank you for Joe Cook’s talk. As someone managing a site (Archbold, FL) with an existing comprehensive multi-taxon collection I am interested in hearing about any existing collection strategies for sites. Not just collection gaps and frequencies (agree with all your suggestions, thank you) but also how to anticipate collection needs for locations sites which also have a long-term corresponding multi streams of environmental data. Extended specimen tied to extended environmental data.  Plus think about same question for networks of intensively monitored sites. Hilary Swain hswain@archbold-station.org
 
'''Potential Workshop topics from Webinar 2'''
 
*Working with CC-0 datasets dramatically reduces the barrier to re-use collection data and develop tools to facilitate cross-collection and cross-disciplinary integrations. To panelists - How do you see licensing as a way to facilitate / control re-use? How do your colleagues use CC-0 ? Jorrit Poelen jhpoelen+idigbio@jhpoelen.nl https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ Jorrit Poelen jhpoelen+idigbio@jhpoelen.nl https://data.nal.usda.gov/access-policy Kevin kevin.hackett@usda.gov
 
*When it comes to capacity / workforce development, what would you envision might be done to professionalize collections management and work from the ground up to get more positions funded (not on soft money) at varioius institutions? Can the Action Center take on a role of providing "local" advocacy help regarding the need for these individuals. If we mean what we say about the importance of these collections ... collections don't exist without people. AND the collections are only as useful as the data we have and can add about each of them. Soft money positions often mean much institutional / individual information loss is happening all the time. Deborah Paul dlpaul@illinois.edu One (of many) good models is ISBER, in their training programs and, importantly, their certification programs. Scott MillerS@si.edu
 
*Other USG agencies might also be useful for this work: OMB, OPM, etc work with the US Digital Service to modernize the talent pool and workforce, especially for data scientists. There are a lot of FANG data scientists out there who might be recruited for this public-facing work. Nick Pyenson pyensonn@si.edu
 
*So far these discussions have avoided specifics, but at some point the leadership of a national action center and the manner of participation of individual collections in a national action center must be determined. Have specific organizational structures been proposed? Dan Distel d.distel@northeastern.edu '@Dan - I think it is too early to delve into these specifics.  Ideally, whatever organizational system is put in place, it will allow for input and collaboration from all within our community. Andy Bentley abentley@ku.edu
 
*Zimkus - what is your view on "leading development of cyberinfrastructure" ? Are you leaning towards to centralize funding skills, or more to decentralize funding and skills to build a communal skill to maintain, and improve, cyberinfrastructure? Jorrit Poelen jhpoelen+idigbio@jhpoelen.nl I think this has to do with development of a backbone architecture for the Digital Extended Specimen that all of these indepenedent projects cahn contribute to rather than working at cross purposes or reinventing the wheel. Andy Bentley abentley@ku.edu
 
*Attribution is a huge deal for advocacy for collections and should be encouraged in as many ways as possible.  CC-BY is simply one way of trying to enforec that but there is a larger conversation to be had here. Andy Bentley abentley@ku.edu
 
*In my opinion use tracking is not actually that useful, especially in the long tail of science. Is a specimen not useful if it is currently not being used?

<em>The goal of Day 2 is to review and prioritize the Action Center Components from the slide decks completed on Day 1 and to expand each component into one or more explanatory paragraphs, not to be confused with polished prose. We will begin the day with the same four groups. Each group should structure its own time, taking breaks as needed, with the goal of completing its work by noon. </em>
<em>Each group will identify one or more stakeholders that are directly involved with addressing a societal issue. Identify the various ways that you (as a stakeholder) would learn of, engage with, and benefit from association with  
the Action Center, and vice versa.
Draw a figure or diagram documenting these,  
and likely other, connections.
